The Velocity Of Door Travel Essay

Decent Essays

Opening: Velocity of Door Travel: V=(Time to Open)(Distance Traveled)=(3.16 s)(1.25 m) = 0.40 m/s Power Requirement: P(W) =(Force Exerted)(Velocity) =(110 N)(0.40 m/s) = 43.56 W Translation to British Units: P (hp) =(43.56 W)(0.001341 hp/W) = 0.06 hp Closing: Velocity of Door Travel: V=(Time to Open)(Distance Traveled)=(2.12 s)(1.25 m) = 0.59 m/s Power Requirement: P(W) =(Force Exerted)(Velocity) =(540 N)(0.59 m/s) = 314.62 W Translation to British Units: P (hp) =(314.62 W)(0.001341 hp/W) = 0.43 hp Given the information provided, a decision was made to use 1 hp motors. Because these motors will be working for extended periods of time under varying load conditions, it seemed unwise to choose motors which would be operating at peak performance consistently. Also, the difference between a ¾ hp motor and a 1 hp motor was found to be only $23. REFERENCE e. Final Proposed Design Evan This section of the design report describes the final design your team intends to construct in senior design 2 for testing relative to your design requirements. In your final proposed design section you MUST have: Overall system block diagram Block diagrams of all subsystems Detailed schematics Explanation of how it works CAD Drawings (again, extensive part drawings and assemblies should be placed in an appendix) Software for your design (i.e. Flowchart showing how the software functions and description). Software revision table This table needs to show major software revisions that have
